PhD studenship at Durham University The impact of research facilitation on the work of an NHS Foundation Trust University of Durham School of Applied Social Sciences and Wolfson Research Institute with Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust Description of project In the past 5 years, there have been concerted policy efforts to improve translational outcomes from biomedical innovation and to enhance clinical research capacity in the National Health Service. These policies attempt to involve those responsible for providing patient treatment and care in the production of high quality research that informs policy and practice. Frameworks for the evaluation of interventions to enhance research capacity tend to focus on research metrics and neglect process and contextual factors, but these might be essential to understand how, where and when research capacity can be built. This project aims to a) understand the role and impact of a particular approach to research capacity building - research facilitation - on the practices and organisation of clinical teams in a NHS Foundation Trust, and b) to understand the factors that promote or inhibit the effectiveness of research facilitation on research capacity building. The project will use qualitative research methods to collect and analyse data. The project should generate a conceptual model of the interaction between process factors and outcome measures in research capacity building in the NHS. Candidate Specifications: Qualifications: Desirable: MA in Social Sciences (or equivalent). Essential: BA or equivalent (at least an upper-second class) in social sciences. The candidate should have training in both qualitative and quantitative social research methods, and preferably experience of qualitative research Discipline(s): Sociology, Health Services Research, Health Research, organisational studies, Geography, Anthropology. Research Interests: Role of research/evidence in health care practice, organisational change. Studentship Details: Starting Date: 1 October 2010; this date may be adjusted slightly. Duration: 3 years full time. Nature of the Award: The stipend covers the cost of University fees at the Home/EU postgraduate research rate and a stipend of £15,000 p.a. to cover living expenses for a period of three years. Supervisors: Dr Tiago Moreira, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, and Dr Namita Kumar, Consultant Physician, Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust How To Apply: Applicants wishing to be considered for this studentship should make an on-line application to the University on or before 10th September 2010, as well as submitting a research proposal and c.v..

We are currently developing a study into how and why things become, or don't become, routine and normal components of everyday work in the general practice setting. The study will use implementation of osteoarthritis care as the exemplar and will draw on the Normalisation Process Theory. Accordingly, case study and qualitative research methods will be used and the main aims are to investigate: 1. The influences of the social and organisational context on delivery of new care 2. The way that professionals make sense of the condition and new treatments. Funding is available for three or four years (depending on qualifications and experience) to cover fees for PhD registration (2010/11 home/EU rates: £3,390) and a research studentship stipend of currently £13,590 per annum for 2010. Non-EU students would be required to pay the balance (currently approximately £8,980 per annum) of the overseas fees themselves). A programme of formal research training will also be provided. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr Clare Jinks and Professor Pauline Ong. Applicants should have a good first degree (2:1 or above) in sociology or a relevant social science. A Masters degree in a social science or health related discipline is desirable.

AREAS OF RESEARCH FOCUS 1) The Asian Migration cluster explores the issues arising from increased levels of human mobility in the region, both within and across national borders. Mobility of high-level professional and managerial personnel, unskilled labour migration (both documented and undocumented), and human trafficking all raise methodological and theoretical questions and major policy issues, as does the role of migration in urban change. 2) The Changing Family in Asia cluster explores the dimensions of family change in the region, their causes and implications. These dimensions include rising ages at marriage and decreasing non-marriage, declining fertility and declining size of the nuclear family, increase in one-person households and alternative family forms, changing gender roles within families, and changes in family structures consequent on population ageing. These have implications for gender relations, the life patterns of the post-adolescent unmarried, the role of the elderly in the family, child-raising patterns and social policy. 3) The Cultural Studies in Asia is an emerging field of academic research in Asia which is challenging conventional disciplinary boundaries to rethink received knowledge on existing issues and/or to address new topics and concerns thrown up by the rapid changes and impact on cultural practices, brought about by new technologies and the new phase of global capitalism. Focusing on popular cultural practices in contemporary Asia, practitioners in Cultural Studies have re-examined these practices from new angles engendered by multidisciplinary perspectives. They have questioned the very idea of Asia and its current reconfiguration in view of the intense traffic of cultural products and cultural practices, crisscrossing national and cultural boundaries within the continent and beyond. 4) The Religion and Globalisation cluster is dedicated to exploring global reconfigurations of conceptions of “religion” and their diverse manifestations in Asian contexts. Particular attention is given here to the dynamic interactions of secularization and religious revival in the modern period, as well as to related issues of the invocation of authority and tradition in contemporary discourse and practice. In terms of coverage, the cluster works to facilitate studies of significant developments in major established religions such as Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, as well as localised indigenous traditions and new religious movements from any part of Asia, broadly conceived. 5) The Science, Technology, and Society cluster explores techno-scientific institutions, practices, and knowledge-making regimes within Asian societies and cultures. The newest of the ARI research clusters, and thus still building critical mass, we are particularly interested in topics relating to biotechnology / bioscience / biomedicine and society; interactive and digital media; Asian techno-scientific cultures; interactions between Asian sites or projects and those elsewhere, and science & technology policy. By "Asia" we mean South, East, and Southeast Asia, but are particularly interested in projects with the potential to cross these sub-regional boundaries. Methodologically we are open to a range of approaches, including historical, sociological, anthropological, geographical, and media or cultural studies based initiatives. 6) The Asian Urbanisms cluster provides space for exploration of Asia’s urban diversity. Emerging urban forms, phenomena and experiences within ARI’s areal scope demand empirical documentation and analysis. The cluster also takes regional urban diversity as a resource for wider theorization. The theoretical orientation of the cluster is towards work which: (1)speaks in transformative ways to urban studies debates beyond Asian area studies; and (2)resists the ingrained impulse to refer back to antecedents in North America or western Europe. The cluster is particularly interested in forms of relational, comparative research which de-centre the West as the supposed leading edge of urban transition, innovation and influence. Avenues for such work include (but not limited to): intra-Asian city models and emulation; sustainability and urban lifestyles; natural disasters, conflict and urban resilience; cultures of urban heritage; and religion-related urbanisms. 7) The Open Category. ARI also keeps its doors open to talented people with exciting ideas and worthwhile projects whose interests may not immediately fit one of the categories. Applications are welcome from across the whole spectrum of the humanities and social sciences, and especially for projects that are innovative and interdisciplinary. ABOUT THE ASIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE (ARI) The Asia Research Institute (ARI) was established as a university-level institute in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the National University of Singapore (NUS). Its mission is to provide a world-class focus and resource for research on the Asian region, located at one of its communication hubs. ARI engages the humanities and social sciences broadly defined, and especially interdisciplinary frontiers between and beyond disciplines.
